Have you tried Tencel? Abstract Fiber has merino/ Tencel blend yarn and fibers. With warm weather coming, Tencel blends are just right. They're cooler than pure wool and have a smooth sleek surface. MightySock makes a great warp yarn for lightweight woven scarves perfect for spring days and cool summer evenings. The drape of Tencel shows lace off beautifully. Check AbstractFiber.com to puchase merino/tencel blends online or for a list of stores near you.

Thanks to both of you - and to the other podcasters - who braved the heat and the crowds at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this year! It was such a pleasure to meet both of you and to get a chance to chat with you! You were very kind to allow me to take your picture and you were so gracious to everyone who met and spoke with you! I have enjoyed your podcasts for a while now and will continue to enjoy them even more!Don't know if you've been to Sheep and Wool before, but May in "Merlin" is not usually this hot!(Just saying - in case you're thinking you might not want to come again, LOL!)Thanks again for coming! We were so thrilled you could make it!Joan G a/k/a FSK
